In May of the 64th year of the Republic of China, Hu Yixin gave birth to a daughter, and Fang Sishen was promoted to uncle.

This good news was sent to him by Young Master Hong immediately.When Fang Sishen was overjoyed, it was strange to think about it.When the two have a chance to video chat, they will inevitably ask why.

"The due date is still more than a week away. Sister Xin and Aunt Hu went out to buy things. I happened to meet her downstairs in the company. Please come up and sit down by the way. I didn't know it was such a coincidence that the little guy came out early..."

Fang Sishen did not doubt that he had him, and was extremely grateful: "Thanks for having you."

Hong Xinyao said twice: "My child's grandmother personally promised me to be a dry uncle."

Of course he wouldn't talk about it, Hu Yixin looked for him a few times before, he was either not in the capital, or he used the golden cicada's method to escape, but unexpectedly caught him this time.The office building next to the "Zhenxintang" is a large shopping mall, and Hu Mei is shopping in it. Hu Yixin likes the quiet garden in front of the building, and sits on a bench to bask in the sun while waiting, but the long-lost Young Master Hong arrives.

As a teacher, he has a good memory, pressing hard every step of the way, and turning over old accounts one after another.Hong Xinyao already had a guilty conscience, but she was also worried about her big belly, so her coping was not up to par.As a result, Hu Yixin got excited, and said hello that the child would be born early, which frightened Young Master Hong to such an extent that he lost his wits.On the contrary, the mother herself calmed down, called out the child's grandmother, and directed Hong Xinyao to drive straight to the hospital.

Thinking about it afterwards, Young Master Hong was terrified.Not daring to tell Fang Sishen, he tried every means to flatter Hu Yixin, which made Ou Pingxiang suspicious and almost got into a fight with him.

He is secretive here, but he doesn't want Fang Sishen to have an ambiguous lawsuit on the other side so he can't reveal it.

One day on campus, Fang Sishen walked and looked at the scenery, and a group of people passed by, but he didn't care.Suddenly someone called his name, and when he looked back, it was one of the group of people. The other person looked pleasantly surprised, and it turned out to be Nie Mingxuan whom he hadn't seen for almost two years.

Nie Mingxuan trotted for two steps, stopped again, signaled his companions to go first, and then walked quickly to Fang Sishen: "I didn't expect it was really you! This is really..." He didn't express love in every word, just rubbed his hands and smiled: "It's so fateful , It’s so fateful!”

He couldn't help it, and he was much more sincere than the way he played mysteries two years ago.So much time has passed, Fang Sishen has long since lost the memory of the past.What's more, it's rare to meet an acquaintance who came back from China, so I can't help but feel a little happy.Greeted each other a few words, found a nearby cafe to sit down and talk about old times.

On behalf of Shengzhi Technology, Nie Mingxuan came to Prius to attend an international summit on information technology and stayed for three days.In the middle, I took time to go to the museum to listen to Fang Sishen's talk about the Six Artifacts of Jiuxi. Before leaving on the last day, we had a meal together.As far as acquaintances and friends are concerned, this level of communication is not uncommon.But when I think about it carefully, I actually tried every means to meet Fang Sishen every day for three days.

Three days of dating, to Fang Sishen, it's like fallen leaves blowing past and flying away with the wind.For Nie Mingxuan, he threw a stone into the water, the ripples on the water surface disappeared, but the stone sank to the bottom of the water.

Hearing Hong Xinyao talk about Hu Yixin and Ou Pingxiang, Fang Sishen thought of it by the way.I didn't feel anything before, but now facing him, I inexplicably reflected on something wrong.And self-explaining, it’s nothing in the first place, just pay more attention to it in the future.

In June, the International Symposium on the Study of the Nine Rivers and Six Artifacts of the Ancient Xia Kingdom and the Late Warring States Bronze Inscriptions was held at the Institute of Oriental Studies at Price University.Fang Sishen is in charge of three main reports, one more than the project host Professor Holtz.The free defense after each report was wonderful.He has accumulated a lot over the years, and when he debates with others, he is steady, steady, sharp and sharp, and his attitude is even more relaxed and relaxed.Standing on the stage, the whole person is limpid, bright and beautiful, which breaks the hearts of the viewers.

If the previous series of papers on the Jiuxi Liuqi project had established Fang Sishen's position in the professional field, then this seminar really brought him into the field of vision of the international summer academic circle with a vivid image.

At the end of the last report, the applause continued for a long time, and many people gathered around to talk to him and exchange contact information.Fang Sishen was overwhelmed and flustered, and he didn't have the ease that he had on stage.Hong Xinyao squeezed in with Xiao Liu, protected him with his arms and walked out, saying loudly: "If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Fang's assistant."

Liu Huohan stretched out his hands behind, cut off the crowd, and became the default assistant.

Fang Sishen followed Hong Xinyao out of the venue after greeting Professor Hotz, Wade Li and other members of the research group.

After completing the arduous task of the seminar, I feel very relaxed, but the excitement and tension have not subsided yet, my face is rosy, my eyes are flickering, and I look very angry: "When did you come back? Did everything go well?"

Hong Xinyao arrived as soon as the meeting started, and today he went to Delphia to pick up Qi Jiaying and his party.It is a national treasure that cannot be ignored. The cultural relics escort team sent by the Qi family had already arrived in Prius a week ago.Qi Jiaying was doing other things in Gordon City by himself, so he made an appointment to come and see in person today.

Hong Xinyao smiled and took the computer in his hand: "It went well, earlier than expected. When we came in, your report had just started."

Fang Sishen was surprised: "You have been in the venue?"

"Well, for fear of affecting others, I sat at the back." Hong Xinyao lowered his head and whispered, "I think he listened more than I did, so I don't know if he understands."

Fang Sishen smiled.

A black car was parked at the entrance of the auditorium. The bodyguard standing in front of the car saw the two approaching and opened the door.Qi Jiaying came out, met Fang Sishen, and shook hands with him: "Dr. Fang, it's a great honor to meet you. I really benefited a lot from Dr. Fang's speech today. I didn't expect that there would be such a profound historical and cultural background behind a few things." Dr. Fang's speech is so good that even a layman like me is very eager to hear it."

A few ordinary polite words, because of the relationship between the expression and the tone, appear to be extraordinarily sincere, and have the power to convince people's hearts.

Fang Sishen knew that Qi Jiaying's actual age should be older than his father, but he couldn't tell.Not to mention the seniority and status of the other party, just based on age alone, there is no need to be so considerate to a junior like yourself, and rush to return the greeting.Thinking of He Weisi's evaluation of this person, it really is not easy.

Many people came out of the venue, recognized Fang Sishen, and wanted to come up to say hello.Seeing the car and the vague scenes around him, he stopped again.

Soon Xiao Liu also came out.Hong Fang and two got into Qi Jiaying's car, and Qi's secretary and a bodyguard got into the car behind Xiao Liu.

Hong Xinyao said to Fang Sishen: "Mr. Qi is too busy and has to leave at night. It's not convenient to talk in other places, so please come to our place and have a light meal."

Qi Jiaying said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to see how the preparations are going here, and then invite you to Delphia for dinner and have a chat by the way. But Xiao Hong reminded me that Dr. Fang gave speeches and debates for several days in a row, it was too hard, so I don't want to It’s better to run around.”

Fang Sishen blushed: "Mr. Qi, you can call me Xiao Fang."

The car arrived at the residence within a few minutes. Hong Xinyao had already explained the meal arrangements to Uncle Chang, went into the back kitchen to have a look, and came out to talk with Fang Sishen to accompany Qi Jiaying.

Fang Sishen remembered what happened to the Fanxi Museum when he received the other party, and he solemnly apologized: "Mr. Mengzi had no choice but to tell the truth when he asked about it last time. Please forgive me."

Qi Jiaying said: "It's okay, don't take it to heart. In that case, no one would say anything about it, right? It's just that although you didn't say it, your attitude has already told me, otherwise how could I find Purui immediately Sri?"

This is too straightforward.Fang Sishen wasn't sure whether he was on purpose or not, so he could only answer: "Mr. Qi is very discerning, his eyes are like a torch."

Qi Jiaying smiled: "Xiao Fang seems to be a person who often tells the truth. In fact, many people can't tell the truth a few times in their lifetime. It's really nothing."

Hong Xinyao took Fang Sishen's hand, and took over the conversation: "Thanks to my brother, it is a rare fate to know Mr. Qi."

Qi Jiaying nodded: "It is indeed a fate. When the things are transported to Pearl Island, I wonder if I can invite Xiaofang to stay for a few days and spread the common sense of history and culture to the people on the island."

According to the prior agreement, after the seminar is over, the Qi family will transport the things back to Pearl Island, and then hold a public exhibition.From the moment Qi's escort team arrived in Prius, the safety of cultural relics has been fully handed over.As for the transaction procedures, most of them have been completed, and there are some follow-up work left, so there is no rush.Therefore, Hong Fang and the two didn't intend to go to Pearl Island, but planned to go back to the capital directly after handing over with the school, taking advantage of the convenience of the summer vacation, to take a trip to Qingqiu Baishui.

Fang Sishen looked up at Hong Xinyao, and Qi Jiaying's secretary said beside him: "Our Traditional Culture Association has a special fund, and we formally invite Dr. Fang. I wonder if it is possible?"

It's a good thing that it's obvious that you can't cut the opponent's face, Fang Sishen said: "Of course. But we need to discuss about the time..." Two years away, the things to be done have been successfully completed, and suddenly the heart is like an arrow, just want to go early Going back, a rare opportunity like this seems to have lost its appeal.

"Jiuxi Liuji's visit to Mingzhu Island can be regarded as a return to the hometown. We will hold a relatively large opening ceremony. At that time, not only experts and scholars from universities and research institutions will come, but also antique collectors, investors, and businessmen from the island. Big companies in this area of ​​business will also be present. Although everyone is very interested, there are too few who really know what to do. It would be an honor for all of us if you, Xiao Fang, can come and speak in person." Qi Jiaying looked at Fang Sishen as he spoke, and Yu Guang glanced at Hong Xinyao.

Young Master Hong's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Mr. Qi's kindness is hard to turn down. Brother, if you don't object, I'll go with you. Anyway, it won't take a few days, and the next itinerary has been slightly adjusted."

Hearing what he said, Fang Sishen nodded.

When the food was ready, several people had been busy for a long time, and they all had appetites. Chang Bo's craftsmanship was also on the table.At the dinner table, Hong Xinyao and Qi's secretary were mainly in Zhang Luo. Qi Jiaying spoke occasionally, but basically only talked with Fang Sishen, chatting a little about antiques and cultural relics, and occasionally talking about his views on humanistic research.Fang Sishen still remembered the other party's identity at first, and chose words and sentences carefully, but then he forgot without knowing it, and his nature was revealed in the questions and answers.

When it was time to say goodbye, the richest man in the world, like any ordinary guest, thanked the host who sent him out: "Thank you for your hospitality, please stay." Turning to Fang Sishen, "Xiao Fang, I am very grateful." Nice to meet you. Today was very rewarding and enjoyable!"

Seeing the limousine leaving in the dust, Fang Sishen looked at Hong Xinyao and frowned slightly: "Ah Yao, am I... a little too carried away today?" Thinking of how he talked with people without concealment, it seemed that he didn't hold back a few times during the conversation. Leaving room to refute the other party's point of view, at this time, he belatedly realized who Qi Jiaying was, and suddenly felt that his attitude was rash and too casual.

Seeing Hong Xinyao smiling but not answering, she was slightly annoyed: "Really...you didn't remind me..."

Hong Xinyao just smiled as before, and when he returned to the room, he bent over and grabbed him, and hugged him horizontally.

"Ah! Hey, what are you doing..." Fang Sishen lost his voice, and found him walking upstairs, knowing that he couldn't fall, he still hugged his neck involuntarily.

"Put me down, the stairs are steep, it's not safe..." He said in his mouth, but he didn't dare to move, his whole body felt the tension rising and falling in the air.

Hong Xinyao bowed his head: "Don't worry, I can hug you. Close your eyes."

Fang Sishen then closed his eyes.The breathing above the head and the heartbeat beside the ears were immediately amplified, echoing in the brain like drums, and the whole body became hot.

Hong Xinyao carried him into the bedroom, sat on the sofa, not only did not let go, but hugged him even tighter.But there was no other movement, just more and more vigorously hooped and rubbed against himself.

Fang Sishen was confused by him: "Ah Yao?"

After a while, I heard him say in a nasal voice: "Brother, I'm happy, let me hug you for a while..."

"What are you so happy about?"

"I settled 70.00% of the bill with the surname Qi, and the remaining 30.00%. I said that I don't need cash, and I want to set up a branch of Zhenxintang on Pearl Island. After several months of delay, he has not responded. I finally agreed just now. .”

Fang Sishen wondered, "When did he promise you just now?"

"That's when he asked you to give a report over there."

"Huh?" Fang Sishen was even more surprised, "When did he say that? Why didn't I hear it?"

Hong Xinyao smiled and kissed him on the face: "He asked you to make a report, saying that not only scholars from the university, but also people from antique dealers and auction houses will come, that's for me. As long as we In the past, he would introduce these people to us. This means that he agreed. As long as a big guy like him is willing to nod and cooperate, it will be a great thing. As for how to cooperate later, that is not a problem. "

Fang Sishen felt a little inexplicably lost, and felt that he shouldn't be unhappy, so he leaned on him and said nothing.

The more Hong Xinyao talked, the more interested he became: "He has ignored me for so long, I thought it was useless. Although it is good to take cash, it is a pity after all. Why did he suddenly agree today? At first I didn't quite I dare to believe it. After watching him keep talking to you, I slowly figured out the reason. It’s definitely not that the surname Qi is not interested in the matter of the Zhenxintang branch. He probably still doesn’t believe me. Of course,” said Young Master Hong Rolling his eyes unwillingly, "My petty trouble, people don't pay attention to it at all, and maybe they really don't bother to take care of it."

Fang Sishen didn't look up: "Then what does this have to do with me?"

"Why doesn't it matter? When he saw you, he knew that I was reliable, and then he agreed." Hong Xinyao blinked, "I don't know how to say it, I just think that when he saw you today, he must think You're very reliable, and then you don't even suspect me anymore. Let's say, suppose he was investigating me secretly and saw me with you, and the investigation would be passed. Without you, this matter will definitely not be possible. Brother , you are my one, that..."

Fang Sishen's heart was hot, his face was hot, and he stopped him in a low voice: "Ah Yao, stop talking..."

Hong Xinyao thought of Mr. He Weisi's definition of a good wife, and the person in his arms was definitely the most awesome one: Wang Fu.Of course I didn't dare to say it out of my mouth, I kept muttering secretly in my heart, with a self-absorbed smirk on my face.

At the beginning of July, Fang Sishen finished his two-year training at Prius, bid farewell to all the relatives of the He family, and left them as gift to Wade Li and her boyfriend, the prodigal grandson of the Harold family—in fact, the Harold family went bankrupt at this time The crisis has passed, and the prodigal grandson is turning into a promising grandson who revitalizes the family business -- Blessing, returning to the motherland.

Hong Xinyao didn't have time to accompany him until the end, so he left early and flew from the capital to Pearl Island to wait for him.

After more than ten days of preparation by Qi's side, the Jiuxi Six Artifacts Exhibition has officially entered the countdown.The day after Fang Sishen arrived was the day of the opening ceremony.Hong Fang and the two were sitting in the VIP seat, only to find that the most important guests on the rostrum were senior officials from the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Central Government and the director of the Jingshi Museum.

The flash of the camera blasted at people like small cannonballs. Hong Xinyao took out two pairs of sunglasses from his pocket, put one on the bridge of his nose, and handed the other to Fang Sishen: "Cover it a little." The camera swept over, and he skillfully He picked up the brochure on the table and stood in front of him calmly.

Fang Sishen put it on as he said.I haven't worn glasses for a long time, and I am very uncomfortable.Endured it and didn't pick it down.

Unexpectedly, the opening ceremony of an exhibition of ancient cultural relics was so lively.Young Master Hong also holds the position of a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise, so he had to keep a low profile as much as possible when running private jobs.There are so many people today, and there are official media present, we really need to be careful.

At the beginning of the opening ceremony, the two discovered that the opening ceremony was also the donation ceremony of the Jiuxi Six Instruments.Looking at each other, they both understood the shock in each other's hearts.

Mr. Qi Jiaying, a famous patriotic industrialist on Pearl Island, donated the national treasure "Nine Rivers and Six Vessels" collected from overseas at a huge expense to the National Capital Museum.The director of the Jingshi Museum accepted the donation on the spot, and the officials of the Cultural Affairs Bureau presented honorary certificates and medals to Mr. Qi on behalf of the central government.The Jiuxi Six Wares will return to their hometown on the eve of the National Day after the public exhibition on Pearl Island, and will be sent to the Beijing Normal University for exhibition.

All three speeches were made, not long but quite sensational.

Hong Xinyao was choked for a long time without making a sound.Finally, he leaned into Fang Sishen's ear and said angrily, "It's just Qi Jiaying who spends hundreds of millions of dollars to save face. He is the only one who does it easily and happily. What patriotic industrialist, the surname Qi became a Skoda citizen 800 years ago. Hmph , don’t look at what he said nicely, but secretly he might have made some kind of deal with his superiors!”

Fang Sishen patted him lightly, but said nothing.

After a while, Young Master Hong said again: "Look, the Jingshi Museum is determined to sell the souvenirs as copycats. I'm afraid that the Fanxi Museum will come to sue."

Fang Sishen looked at the glamor on the stage, and said softly: "This is actually the best. Give the design copyright in our hands to Mr. Qi."

Young Master Hong snorted, knowing in his heart that this was the best choice.

After the opening ceremony, Fang Sishen had two presentations and several small discussions; Hong Xinyao waited to get to know relevant people in Pearl Island, and discussed with Qi Jiaying's staff in charge of this project, and the two were busy separately.

When they left three days later, it was a foregone conclusion that Zhenxintang would set up a branch in Pearl Island.

Young Master Hong at this time, not counting the wealth his father Hong Yaoge earned for the Hong family, regardless of the convenience brought by the position of deputy general manager of the Hejin Mining Company, the actual scale of the "Sincerity Hall" alone is quite impressive.It can be said that with his own ability, coupled with a good backstage and luck, Hong Xinyao has truly become one of the young upstarts of the big summer generation.

This year, he was less than 24 years old.
